PHP proc_open avability

I made a PHP library that uses proc_open and relies on external application to process data.

Now, I need to make a "check" file that will analyze the server and return if my library can be used on it.

I figured these steps are enough:

How do I check if proc_open is allowed? Also, I guess proc_open works on windows-based servers too (just using windows command prompt instead of terminal)?

if( function_exists("proc_open")) would be a good start. Then use a try..catch block to attempt to call a simple proc_open test. If the test passes, then proc_open is allowed.

As for the external application, if it defines any functions you can use function_exists to check and see if it is installed and working.
